that might have worked and worth trying if you have spare phone :D

but such copper wire hardly work and if they work they will burn something for sure

als copper wire might stop other frequency as atirox mentioned

there isa a reason for it

the antenna is having length equal to wavelength or overtone of frequenct to be received

if you calculate wavelength of 850mhz its very small so you can imagine the error probability

also there is always chance of short circuit due to a slight prb in soldering of wire

so better dont do it
[Hardware Hacking General] nitrous²:
I know, I asked a friend of mine who works in a phone repair shop and he was a little surprised that this solution worked at all. He told me the same things you did. And he told me to use a silver wire with a length of 4,7cm (1,8 inches) for gsm network or 7cm (2.7 inches) for umts. He couldn't figure out why it was still working and told me that this fix should burnout the signal receiping ic's on the liveboard. Anyone an idea why this still works?

I've posted this fix also on Android-hilfe dot de and there was a guy who thought he could do that too, eve though i told him to not do it. The result: no network connection at all, so he have had to buy a new mainboard.
[Hardware Hacking General] haimmalka:
no lol worakkk
[Hardware Hacking General] Rukbat:
There are (at least) 3 radios in the phone - GPS, wifi and cellular. Any one can be defective while the others are working perfectly. Also, the "antenna" is actually 3 antennas connected together - a GPS antenna, a wifi antenna and a cellular antenna (probably 2 or 3 of those). But since you put in a new antenna, I'd guess that the cellular radio is bad.
[Hardware Hacking General] onlymojo:
Actually, that entirely depends. Most antenna are tuned to the exact range of frequencies they are using. While his phone, i9000, has to receive several signals from the carrier alone for HSPA (850, 900, 1900, 2100) it also has to receive GPS which is (1575.42 and 1227.6) and WiFi (2400). That being said, a 1/4 wave antenna length for 850 is 0.87 inches while the 1/4 wave antenna length for 2400 is 0.31 inches. 1/2 inch difference between the two. That's quite drastic. While all the antenna might be on the same module, and might be coupled together, as they are in his antenna, they aren't the all using the the same antenna.

I recently purchased a Chinese copy Phone 4S, running adroid 2.3.

Is a bit ordinary and worst of all, a resistive touch screen...still it functions ok.

My problem is App store will not download as it gets stuck in 'download started'.

I have succesfully logged into gmail, talk etc and cleared caches and rebooted many times. The current App store version is 1.82 and have tried many other versions which will not load succesfully.

Wifi works, phone works, but cant get downloads to work, App store does load up and shows me all the apps available but thats about it.

Apart from the criticism for buying cheap chinese copies..... any suggestions?

I am in Sydney and set it up for Aust.

Note, I got on to this forum when I bought a ZT-180 and succesfully flashed it multiple times to a good stable working system (have bought ipad since) but I was pleasantly impressed by the support offered from this forum - thanks eveyone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Carlobravo:
Hi so I have been dreading bothering anyone and I have tried many things but no success.

The issue: My phone all of a sudden gets super super slow during the day. Happens with or without my apps i like on my phone. If it happens while I am not using the phone I will not get any texts or any phone calls. I can sometimes unlock the screen but clicking on things it just lags to the max. Nothing Force Closes or anything but its just super slow. It gets so slow I have to hold the power button to shut it off and then restart it. This happens at least 2 times a day.

What I have: I have a stock Rom that was rooted using the easy root command on a Windows 7 Machine. I also have CWM installed and the features all work.

What I have tried: I have tried a few different things including using odin to root the phone. I have restored the stock recovery using odin and also wiped and re installed stock Rom with odin. the same thing is happening after all of that work. Its not an app that is doing it because I used a os monitor app and nothing is using the CPU 100% or anything.

I need help otherwise I am going to see if I can exchange it with AT&T but unfortunately trying to repair this thing I had to set off the counter 2 times so I don't know if that will prevent me from being able to do a exchange under warranty.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
Freeze the bloatware. If that does not help flash a custom rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Carlobravo:
Thank you for the quick response. I did freeze the bloatware and I did try TPC rom and the same exact thing happens.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Carlobravo:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
No no way to reset. But odin the stock tar. They wont even check the flash counter anyway. Atleast thats been the case for most people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Above&Beyond™:
Go on eBay and purchase a USB JIG and it would reset it. It only cost about $2.00 USD but you would have to wait about a week since it ships from China...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] norbarb:
That what happend to my phone too. I install CWM and root then phone get verry slow. I think there was bloatware so i install custom rom, but then bluetooth stop working and have some more issue with phone not responding. So i install stock and want to start from scrach, but after this i steel had some problem with bluetooth and incoming calls ( phone not pick them up ). I go to ATT store and replace for new one and with orginal software no problem at all for last 45 days. No root no CWM and no problem.. :). I use samsung infuse 4G for all software games and works exelent on custom roms and all.. :)

The OS version on my AT&T HTC Titan is 77.10.7720.68 Your manual update seems like it pretty easy to do I was wondering if I wanted to try this then roll back how would I do that since your file don't have the version my phone has?

Also, do you happen to know if this new version or any newer version takes care of the random power cycling/reboot that occurs like 1 or 2 times every 12-18 hours? My phone seems a little better now that I uninstalled the HTC apps (except for the HTC version of Tango video chat software since that is made for the Titan) hope that these updates take care of that too.

[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
Hey guys,

Just updating you all on this if you haven't already read the Windows phone blog today.

They have mentioned in their blog that this update and the future 'maintenance updates' will fix more than the change log just to maintain any issues raised by the carriers. However, these maintenance updates will only be released to carriers that ask for it. So if your carrier did not ask for this maintenance update or anything else in future you won't get these kind of small maintenance updates. I am going to manually update my phone today as mine is SIM free and my carrier will never get me any maintenance updates.

I will post back if I see anything noticably different. I would however recommend that if you feel confident, then go for manual update as your carrier might or might not have asked Microsoft for the update. The reason I understand is these maintenance updates once applied require your carrier to put their crap back on your phone. Some carriers happily will do it and others will take long time to re-do their crap on the phone, which means you get update later than the world. I do appreciate MS's approach regarding maintenance update, but it's a shame we have some lazy carriers supplying network to windows phone!
[HTC Titan] jorisd1980:
I am thinking of doing the manual update as well. Would you indeed be so kind to post the result? I am curious!
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I updated eventually.

I will use this link if I was you - http://mobilitydigest.com/windows-phone-8170-manual-update/

The author has updated his HTC Radar and Titan using same files and has included extremely straightforward noobs guide as 'read me' within the zip file

I got one error after I finished one install before installing language pack. I read somewhere it's ok, but Im not sure if it is or not. However when I installed other files, it said update finished. I checked my phone's settings and I have the new version so I am guessing it's done it all correctly!

The first thing I've noticed is - It feels much smoother/faster in transition of screens. I've tested pictures hub, zune, people and me hubs - they all seem to be transitioning a little faster and smoother in fact.

The internet sharing was working for me anyways, but since some other handset users mentioned it broke it, I checked mine and it's working perfectly fine!

The keyboard - haven't tested much but the autocorrect seems to be picking up works much quicker and accurately but this could be the effect of me trying to find difference in keyboard behaviour. I've used board express to post in forums, i had issues of keyboard disappearance but so far it's stayed well behaved - so impressed with that fix!

I know it's nowhere in the updated feature list, but I for some reason found my IE/browsing was much faster than before. It could be that I am just getting better coverage in my area all of a sudden or they did something with the way IE gets pages?

In a nutshell, no complaints after update, seems to have done good things, not bad!
[HTC Titan] jorisd1980:
Thanks for the information! I did the manual update myself as well. I got an error just like you but in the end it said it updated succesfully, so let's see. The one thing that concerns me right now is that 'Mobile Networks' in settings, not sure if that's how it's called in English since I live in Holland :), no longer works! Do you have that as well? T-Mobile here...

What exactly does 'mobile networks' do? For me, I have got no slide button instead a drop down menu that has two options - E or 3G.

Calling works perfectly OK too, may be try a restart? If not, I think for you it will be best if you restore the phone from your zune's last saved restore point.

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

Hi,

My Titan is unbranded too! I brought it from Carphonewarehouse and am using giffgaff SIM on it.

I think this method is best for unbranded or non-carrier related devices as we don't have any operators that will request our updates.

What I understand from Microsoft's point of view is - they are going to wait for the carriers to report the issues i.e. maintenance bugs. This way microsoft doesn't get loaded with bug reports and can put all the efforts for feature building up - which the OS needs. The bugs are and when reported by carriers (lesses bug reports reaching microsoft compared to each of us writing to them) - then microsoft can release bug fixes to carriers and it flows to us.

However, Microsoft will carry on the pop-up notification for 'feature updates' so when Tango and Apollo comes out we should all get the update no matter where and what we use. As long as we have WP7 running we will get an update. However say if it brings any bugs, then to repair them we need to contact our carriers rather than microsoft.

My understanding can be wrong but I am collating these info from various official and unofficial microsoft blogs.

---------- Post added at 09:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:01 PM ----------

[HTC Titan] stevov:
cheers Drupad for the quick reply.i'm glad i got mine unbranded as so far it appears that my phone seems to suffer from none of the problems the branded ones do. knock wood its been spot on from day one.
[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
I think so too! I even went to an extent of creating a poll in early days to see what people were using. I will try to bump that poll up now that we have more Titan owners.

Earlier it seemed like AT&T owners suffered plenty with small problems. I haven't seen a single unbranded Titan owner facing any of the called bugs. But it could be a pure coincidence too! (I hope not! ;))
[HTC Titan] Sihaz:
i'm confused about this too. i've got an unbranded titan (UK) and am using it on t-mobile. no update for me yet, though the last few ms & htc updates came through the minute i heard about them. hope this one arrives soon as the keyboard bug is a bit of a pain!

[HTC Titan] Sihaz:
seems a bit drastic! Tango will be along soon enough and we should all be getting that.
[HTC Titan] frontieruk:
Not really, I supported the platform through the NODO fiasco and was impressed with their response to the community with the update guide, what's happened is they've thrown the good will they built back then in our faces, and taken no responsibility for updates preferring to leave queries complaints about lack of updates in the hands of carriers, which doesn't help OEM owners.

My HD7 (O2 branded) updated this evening where as my Titan hasn't, I remember back in the good old days of updating Symbian that OEM phones got the updates and carrier phones didn't, Microsoft have done a really good job of reversing that. If I was a conspiracy nut I'd suggest it's a case that they want people to take new contracts with their carrier partners, but I'm not a nut and know Microsoft just couldn't carry that plan out.
[HTC Titan] Sihaz:
